CERAMIC MOLD COOKIES
For best results, mix your dough by hand. Lightly oil mold and blot with paper towel. Lightly flour mold and re-flour the mold before each cookie but DO NOT re-oil. Press a piece of dough firmly and evenly into the mold. Trim the back of the cookie so it's flush with the mold. Tap the dough from mold and place on a baking sheet in the top third of your oven until nicely browned - about 10 minutes.

MOLDING DOUGH COOKIES
Sugar Cookie or Christmas Cookie dough that is easy to make, easily manipulate and uniquely flavored. We like the buttery and slightly tangy flavor of the cream cheese and the texture of these cookies. You don't even have to roll out the dough--you can just pat it down into a square and use cookie cutters from there. Any time I do decorator cookies, this is the recipe I use because of the flavor and ease of preparation.

Steps:
- Work time is an estimate. Mixing the dough requires little or no time, it's the roll out and cutting that is time consuming.
- Combine all ingredients except flour.
- Note here: 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese or Neufachtel is fine, but fat free doesn't work as well. Also, while most cooks agree Philadelphia is the best cream cheese, this recipe is not as temperamental as cheese cake recipes so off brand cream cheese works fine.
- Stir by hand until well blended. Add flour, stirring until dough forms a ball. Knead in a bowl or on a floured surface, 1-3 minutes, adding additional flour until smooth and pliable, and not sticky.
- Roll out or press into 1/4 inch thick (or however thick you prefer your cookies to be)rectangle on floured surface and cut into shapes with favorite cookie cutters. Or, the dough can be shaped by hand. Mom made little "nests" at Easter and filled then with white frosting, green coconut, and egg shaped M&Ms. The dough can also be pressed into candy molds, removed and baked into those shapes.
- Bake at 350 on ungreased cookie sheets until edges are light brown. 5-10 minutes. Don't over bake. Remove carefully from cookie sheets. When cool, ice as desired, or leave plain.

SUGAR COOKIES FOR CERAMIC COOKIE MOLDS
I have several cute ceramic cookie molds that you use to bake in. They take a special dough that can stand up to being released from the molds. This recipe came in a cookie book that came with one of the molds. The serving size depends on your molds. I will put 12 for the purpose of this recipe.

Steps:
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until they are fluffy. Beat in the egg and the milk/cream.
- Add vanilla. Add in the flour and salt at this point. Remove dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead dough briefly (not too long or it will be a tough cookie) and form into a ball. Wrap with plastic and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes (or you can quick chill in the freezer for about 10).
- While dough is chilling, preheat the oven for 350°F Take your mold and lightly brush oil on the baking surface of the cookie molds. Flour the mold(s) and tap out excess flour.
- Take a piece of dough and starting at one side, press it firmly into the mold, adding more dough as needed. Be sure to level the back of the cookie.
- Now, turn your mold over and strike it a couple of times to release the cookie. The cookie should come right out. Repeat the flour dusting of the mold before molding another cookie. (do not use oil again).
- Place the formed cookie on a baking sheet with detail side up and bake in the top 3rd of your oven. This helps highlight the nice detail of the cookie. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- HELPFUL HINTS.
- Don't be timid about striking the mold on a cutting board; it will not break if you hold it upright while striking it on its edge.
- If the cookie does not release, you have used too much oil. Clean the mold with a stiff dry brush, re-flour, but don't re-oil, and try again.
- If your cookies are puffing up and losing detail, use a smaller egg. If they are spreading out and losing detail, use less sugar.
- Chill the cookie mold as well to ease in the release of the cookie.
- If you are using a mold with multiple sections like the one in the photo, do one cookie section at at time - not the whole mold.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you work more efficiently and avoid any mishaps.
- Use the right tools: A good set of cookie cutters will help you create uniform and beautiful cookies. A rolling pin will help you roll out the dough evenly, and a baking sheet will help you bake the cookies evenly.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before you bake it will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. For crispy cookies, bake them at a higher temperature. For chewy cookies, bake them at a lower temperature.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious cookies that will impress your friends and family. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and be creative. Experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your favorite cookie recipes.
